Underfloor heating price in South Africa depends on the system type, area size, and installation complexity. Electric systems typically range from R200 to R600 per square metre for supply and installation. Hydronic systems, which involve more pipework and components, generally start at R800 per square metre and can exceed R1,500 per square metre for larger or more complex projects.

While hydronic systems carry a higher upfront underfloor heating cost, their running costs are lower over time, making them a strong long-term investment for bigger homes and developments. Always request a detailed quote that covers materials, labour, thermostat controls, and any subfloor preparation work.
